Da Grassroots Lyrics

Album: Unknown

Eternal

f/ K-OS, Thrust

 

 [K-OS]

 You know I roll with the strength of a lion upon the ground

 When I pounce on the rhythm and prey upon ill sounds

 Resonate from the T-dot, making the spot hot

 For pigs who sweat like those kids from Welcome Back Kotter

 I'm not selling my soul 'cause I'm an artist

 Emcees waste time to be preceived as the hardest

 The meek posess the earth, so stay modest

 I treat the music flows like a goddess

 Never bow, 'cause if you do then you get caught up in this game

 Seekin' your own fame, try to fortify your name

 The only name to fortify is that of the creator

 Remember what happened to Darth Vader? Darkside

 

 [Thrust]

 Sit back, relax, put on your head gear

 Let me take you on a ride through the atmosphere

 Just sit back, relax, put on your head gear

 Yo, straight through the atmosphere

 Just sit back, relax, put on your head gear

 Let me take you a ride through the atmosphere

 

 [K-OS]

 You know the flow is unstoppable

 Microphones keep it rockable

 Dropable lyrics, until your body gives you spirit

 Started kickin rhymes back in 1989

 Some people thought I really didn't even know the time

 So I kept it to myself, lyrics on the shelf

 Brain food aimed at his strained mental health

 I was gonna quit back then, and I admit it

 The industry was dirty and I couldn't get wit' it

 Had one more chance to make your morse feel the presence

 Hooked up this video called Musical Essence

 Now I'm livin' every single day on Rap City

 And every single head thinks my style's too pretty

 So I'm thinkin' and blinkin', my mind is continually sinkin'

 Into abysses and not regrettin' the way I came out

 Losin' mad light in this harsh reality

 But there's always something there to remind me

 

 [Thrust]

 Thrust, descender, Thrust be lastin'

 My style flowin' like a river

 Emcees steppin' up, it's like another sliver

 It's up your spine, feel the chill

 Like thoughts, Thrust be comin' through, tell you this

 Lyrically specialist, down with Grassroots

 The K-OS got the flavor comin' through, ya know

 It's like the truth, spinnin' to the youth and all the fans

 Tell a person, tell the next man

 

 [K-OS]

 Now as I awake from the mist

 24 years of lies, I'm kind of pissed

 'Cause my pops never told me

 And when I try to tell him yo, he says I'm insane

 For using one hemisphere of the brain, he's not to blame

 'Cause we all trapped, they misconstrued every fact

 So I'm incarnated in session to bring it back

 To the days when we used to go craze up in the Spectrum

 Emcees be sayin' nothing out they rectum

 Dissect 'em

 Who dat? I'm talkin' 'bout the psuedo-intellects

 Talkin' about praisin' the earth but giving our women no respect

 So what you sayin', huh? What you sayin', B?

 You contradictin' every single word you sprayin', see?

 3-PO's is what these rappers be like with gold clothes

 Just computer parts pimpin' the art to make dough

 Got the beat from the Murray, keep the vibe Grassroots

 You can tell the fradulance by the fruit

 

 [Thrust]

 Vibin', know what I'm sayin'?

 My man, K-OS

 Somethin' for the mind

 Mind power

 Bottom of the ninth

 Who's up to bat?

 No time for wastin', you know what I'm sayin'?

 Grassroots, Thrust

 Yo, we comin' through like this

 For the nine lucky

 It don't stop

 Not ever

 Eternal
